Trying Chick-fil-A at the Glenn Beck studios today and I’ve got to be honest - it’s no Nando’s. 🇬🇧
My son said it was "disrespectful" to even compare the two, and after trying it, I think he’s right. It’s decent, but it doesn’t touch a proper grilled chicken from back home. 6/10 at best. Americans, you need to get to the UK for a real feed!
Let’s do something fun.
Drop the name of any city or town in the world. I’ll reply with a photo or short video of it. Hidden gems. Famous icons. Tiny villages. Doesn’t matter.
Let’s see where this goes... 👇
Firstly, you assume I use Ai to write my opinions. I don’t.
I certainly use Ai
for a lot of things, including research.
Anyone who is not using Ai, or learning the benefits of Ai technology, is missing out. Ai will have greater influence on our future than anything previously created throughout history.
I read up a lot about climate stuff. I don’t profess to be an expert. But neither are those who abuse me for my opinion. For what is worth, here’s my explanation.
The basic philosophy of climate change is the Earth has a heat-trapping blanket of air around it. Climate change activists claim that burning fuel like petrol, coal and gas, are making that blanket thicker. A thicker blanket means the planet gets warmer. They argue that man-made CO2 creates a warmer planet, which causes more severe climate events. The climate argument is that the longer we keep thickening the blanket, the harder it becomes to fix. That’s the theory.
They exaggerate the speed at which this will be a factor. The vast majority of catastrophic predictions over the past 50 years have simply not occurred. Not even close.
My own children, smart kids, all now in their 20s, educated in Australian schools, were at one time completely convinced, (and panicking), that the planet would end within a decade unless man stop producing CO2. They would get very upset with me, because I would say that this is not going to happen, certainly not in such a ridiculously short time frame they were fearing. Younger people have been educated to think this way.
People are making a fortune, governments are being elected, purely on the fear-mongering premise that humans are changing the climate and the planet is in jeopardy.
Fact - CO2 makes up less than 0.04% of the atmosphere. Human produced CO2 is only a fraction of that small number. Blaming CO2 for global warming is like blaming a drop of ink for changing the colour of your swimming pool.
The Sun drives our climate far more powerfully than any gas. Exposure to the Sun warms oceans. Warmer oceans release CO2 naturally. Therefore, CO2 may well be a consequence of warming, not the cause.
History backs this up. Earth had warming and cooling cycles long before humans existed.
More CO2 actually makes for a healthier planet. Plants grow faster. Forests and crops thrive. This is happening now. It’s been proven. A slightly warmer, CO2 rich planet, makes for a healthier planet.
Humans think in terms of human survival, rather than accepting the planet has always changed, adapted, and renewed across its 4.5 billion year history.
Human existence is in jeopardy in the longer term. Not the health of the planet. The planet will survive much longer than the human race. It will not be global warming that kills the human race. The human race will self destruct long before any climate event removes them.
Human philosophy for changing the climate, is actually leading to economic harm and quality of life deterioration. The costs are greater than the proposed cures. They want to dedicate trillions of dollars and cripple our energy systems chasing Net Zero - a target with no scientific guarantee it will change the climate one degree.
The idea that human industrial policy can influence global temperature, is arguably as arrogant as the belief that humans are powerful enough to destroy the planet in the first place.
I’m all for reducing pollution, cleaning up our environment, protecting our water supplies. That’s common sense. I’m against the economic and social damage we are inflicting on ourselves through ridiculous energy policies, which will have zero effect on the climate in the long run.
That’s my opinion. It seems to upset climate change believers. I don’t care. Not for one minute do I think my opinion matters, or that it will change anything. But I do think the world thinking is slowly turning back the other way. I’m hoping so, anyway.
Overall. I loved my first visit to Australia!
But WOW. Aussies love some dumb rules. I’ve never met a more aggressive bunch of circuit marshals in my life and the high vis vest might as well be the national color.
Weird for a group that think they’re the fun ones at the party.
@CricketopiaCom This is why I hate Australia. It's the"white" audacity to dictate and cheat at will. Really sad to see Steve Waugh of all people to behave like this
Out or not out?
Sanath Jayasuriya chipped one straight to Mark Waugh. Steve Waugh was convinced it was clearly out and even gestured for Jayasuriya to head back to the pavilion, but the umpire stood firm and ruled it a bump ball.
What’s your view on that decision?
New research says migrants aren’t to blame for the housing crisis.
'Australia's shortage of homes is not an inevitable consequence of immigration, but instead the result of not enough dwellings being built, a report released by the pro-free-market Centre for Independent Studies has found'

Those of us who had just as hard of life as this guy but weren't too weak to have to resort to drinking alcohol to bury our pain, what are we supposed to feel? Are we supposed to feel sorry for this guy? Are we supposed to feel sad? This guy got to escape reality for however long he was a drunk. The rest of us are still living it. Boo hoo
🚨 MAN FILMS HIMSELF IN THE “DEADLIEST” HOURS AFTER QUITTING ALCOHOL - DOCTORS SAY THIS IS WHEN PEOPLE DIE
It’s 7AM.
He’s not drunk.
He’s not hungover.
He’s shaking so badly he can barely lift a cup of coffee.
This video shows the part nobody talks about - alcohol withdrawal.
After the last drink, alcohol leaves the system and the nervous system snaps back hard.
The brain floods with unchecked signals.
Hands tremble violently.
Heart races.
Focus disappears.
This is when simple things like taking a sip of coffee become a struggle.
This is when seizures can strike.
This is when delirium tremens can begin.
The most dangerous part of alcohol isn’t the drinking.
It’s what happens after people think they’re safe.
Most don’t know this window exists.
Most aren’t warned.
And many don’t realize they’re in danger until it’s too late.
How many people quit drinking without realizing this is the moment doctors fear most?
The Nationals will never back away from fighting for what is right.
Today David Littleproud and the Nationals team have shown courage in paying a political price for putting the Australian people first.
Eleven of my colleagues lost their Shadow Ministerial positions to fight for your right to say what you think.
I am sad that the Coalition has ended in this way but the Nats will never roll over and support draconian legislation that controls the speech of Australians.
Thank you for your support.
STATEMENT: COMBATTING ANTISEMITISM, HATE AND EXTREMISM BILL 2026
I want to share my position on the bill that the parliament will debate next week.
The government has rushed the drafting of this legislation in response to the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.
Anthony Albanese wants you to believe this legislation will combat antisemitism.
But it’s a smokescreen.
Leveraging off tragedy, the politically expedient Anthony Albanese is using this bill to curtail free speech.
Within the bill’s definition of a hate crime is conduct that causes “serious harm” to a person based on race, ethnicity or nationality.
“Serious harm” has an incredibly broad definition.
It’s not limited to physical harm. It also includes harm to a person’s mental health.
If this bill passes parliament in its current form, it’s almost certain that the definition of a hate crime will be broadened to include speech which offends or insults.
And that’s concerning.
Because it will restrict truths being told – and legitimate criticisms being expressed – simply because someone takes offence.
As George Orwell said, “If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
But this bill diminishes liberty because censorship is at its core.
Another part of this draft legislation determines that it’s not a hate crime to quote religious text or scripture.
Yes, we must preserve freedom of religion in our democratic country.
But Anthony Albanese is being tricky with this carve out.
For domestic political reasons, he wants to ringfence Islam from any reasonable scrutiny.
And yet, radical Islamism hasn’t come out of thin air. It comes from Islam.
And radical Islamists were responsible for the barbaric bloodbath on Bondi Beach.
Perversely, Islamic hate preachers could even employ this legislation to avoid scrutiny.
In short:
👉 Anthony Albanese’s bill curtails free speech.
👉 Anthony Albanese’s bill is not serious about combatting the root causes of antisemitism which include radical Islamism.
And for these reasons, I will oppose the bill.
